No matter how hard life gets for me and how chaotic things can become there has always been one person that I can turn to, my mom. She's been a wealth of advice to call on when I'm clueless and a shoulder to cry on when I'm down. Her compassion for others inspires me to be a better person as does the guidance she has given me over the years. She's not afraid to give me a reality check and to tell me the things I don't want to hear even though I need to. She keeps me grounded and teaches me to appreciate the smaller things in life. Even though my dad was still involved in my life after my parents split up it was my mother who I primarily lived with and it was her who had the greatest influence on my life growing up. Anyone who has known my...show more content... Heaven help you if you do anything to endanger her family. My mom also does not go soft on her kids; she can be a formidable disciplinarian when she wants to and will not hesitate to set us straight when we broke the rules. She won't let anybody walk over her and is really quick to anger if you try. My mother is strong–willed and stubborn; when she sets her mind to something almost nothing will stop her and what an impossible feat it is to change her mind on something. She is very impatient; when she wants something done she wants it done at this very moment, no later. She is idealistic and she enjoys the simpler things that life has to offer. She loves nature and would love nothing more than to be living in a cabin in the mountains while listening to country music. She does not pay much attention to news happening outside her local area and prefers to focus on what's happening in her immediate area. From my mother I have learned how to be the person that I am today. Through her I have learned the importance of family and that it is paramount to spend time with them while I still have it. Even now I try to spend time with my family when I have the opportunity to. Form her I have learned compassion for those around me and for animals. Even

The relationship between parents and their children is one of the most basic human interactions. Mothers and daughters provide both physical and emotional care for their young sons and daughters. In the process, parents will instill children with family values and goals, while teaching them the accepted norms and values of society. This is done in hope that parents will one day see their own children becomemature adults, with their own goals and purposes in life.
Mother–daughter relationships can be complex, but also filled with compassion and love. Mothers and daughters often seem farther away from each other than they really are. Usually when a girl goes through adolescence, the relationship between her and her mother begin to...show more content...
I started keeping things from my mom and not talking to her as much. We were growing apart and we both knew it, but I didn't know what to do. It seemed like I wanted to keep things to myself and I just wanted my own privacy. Girls at their most vulnerable time reject the help of the one person who wants most to understand their needs. Erin also says "I didn't get along with my mom at all. I would go to school and then when I came home, I'd lock myself in my room. I just didn't want to see her or deal with her. It wasn't like I hated her, I was just going through a lot and didn't know how to express myself, other than to 'hide' from everyone." Girls truly desire strong ties with their mothers, but many times it's hard to figure out how to maintain these ties with their them. Mothers also feel helpless during these times, not knowing what to say or do, afraid that their daughters would just become more and more upset and angry with them. #My mother, Cathy, has said that with both my sister and I, she has #"felt like my kids were beginning to need me less and less and I just feel helpless." Sometimes mothers feel like they can't help their daughter, they feel like they are the cause of all their problems. Cathy also agrees. #"I did feel like I caused many problems in both of my daughters lives and even with the problems I knew I wasn't the cause of, I just felt that if I tried to help in any way, then I would only be making things worse." Teen girls also face decisions

Types of a Mothers Love A mother's love for her children is supposed to be something that never dies. The problem is, this 'love' can be expressed in many ways. Sometimes, the love is shown in such a way that there is no doubt that this woman would do anything for her offspring. Sometime, this love can be viewed, as a way that that the mother is trying to mold her daughter into what she believes is the 'right' way to behave. Other times, the mother is trying her best to make sure that her child is doing HER best. These three types of "love" are expressed in the three short stories "Girl," "Gravity," and "Two Kinds." The mother in "Girl" is portrayed as an overbearing monster. For some unknown reason, she has...show more content...
The daughter in this story has to live with the reality that her mother has a mindset of what a woman is. Unfortunately, it appears to be virtually impossible to fill the mold that her mother has for her. In "Gravity," the mother has been put into an awful situation. Her son, who seems to be about 30 years old, has the AIDS virus. He has grown weak and feeble. He basically relies on his mother for all his needs. This mother is portrayed as a mother that will (and unfortunately has to) do anything for her son. Even when he was a little child who could not see, his mother lent him her glasses so he could see "Fiddler on the Roof." She did this with full knowledge that she would be forced to squint for the entire showing. The mother herself has her own sicknesses, which she has to deal with. But, even still, she puts her son's well – being before hers… just like she has when he was a little child who couldn't see. The mother not only does things to help her son physically, she does things to help him emotionally. When she and her son are in a shop purchasing a gift bowl, she tossed the $500 glass bowl to her feeble son. To the surprise of her son and everyone else in the store, he held on. Theo, the son, was overwhelmed with joy that he didn't see a pile of glass in front of his feet. As good as a mother as she is, she does have some flaws. First, she somewhat gives the impression that she has been annoyed with the situation. She also

Nancy Scheper–Hughes studies and observes the connections between the loss of infants and the mother's ability to express maternal love in the shantytowns of Brazil in her article "Mother's Love: Death without Weeping." Studying documents, interviewing, and observing the everyday lives of mothers, were the fieldwork procedures she used to conduct her research. The results of her research provided evidence of two theoretical perspectives observed in the article, structuralism and materialism.Scheper–Hughes did a combination of both quantitative and qualitative data during her fieldwork. It doesn't say that she read documents and researched, but one can infer that is how she collected data of average pregnancies, child births, stillbirths etc.,...show more content...
Gaining rapport from story telling and collecting emic data through participation observation were the fieldwork techniques that she employed while researching. The theoretical perspectives seemingly prominent within Bohannan's article are structuralism and interpretivism. Clearly, interpretivism dominates the article as the focus is the interpretation of Hamlet among the Tiv. During Bohannan's visit, she was threatened by the headman that they would stop telling her stories if she didn't tell one of her own. By doing what he asked, she was gaining rapport with the Tiv elders and had the opportunity to research her hypothesis regarding the story of "Hamlet". In the beginning, she told the story with confidence knowing for sure that, "Hamlet had one possible interpretation, and that one universally obvious" (Bohannan 2012: 34). Cultural differences created a lot of confusion as she told the story and was challenged by the Tiv elders regarding the "true" interpretation of Hamlet. She mentally collected emic data and occasionally jotted a few things down in her notepad. By the end of the story, Bohannan realized her hypothesis was
A mothers love lost
Having a mother 's love is like an essential part of staying alive. Without a mother 's love it's kind of hard to survive the unbarring trials that life has to throw at you. I have been struggling without the love of my mother for about nine and a half years and not one thing has changed. I'm still upset about the fact where I use to have days filled with love and laughter to days that are now filled with unwanted tears and regret. This is an emotional essay of the things that my mother and I went through to finally come to the conclusion that our relationship vanished within midair. Losing a mother's love is a terrible thing to lose. At one point of time, I use to know how strong and great a mother's love can be....show more content...
The next month I told my teacher what had happened and she sent me to my guidance counselor. I was told that I had to tell everything that happened. That day I was told that everything was going to be okay, but it wasn't. An investigation was ordered and everything came up negative. That's when my relationship with my mom became sour. The police had ordered her to choose to keep me in the house or to keep my stepdad in the house, but both of us were not allowed to stay in the same house. My mother did the unthinkable and chose her husband over me. My heart broke and I just felt as if my mother did not love me anymore. My stepdad had convinced my mother that I was telling a lie, and when my mother makes up her mind, that's the end of discussing it any further. I was forced to stay with my grandparents, and my mother did not want to see me and she didn't want my brother to be around me. As time moved further ourfamily started to split apart, and it was because of me. I felt as though I was the blame for everything that was going wrong in my family. Instead of expressing my feelings in the right way, I showed them in school, but it was the wrong way. I started becoming disrespectful, and I started looking at life a different way. I got to the point where if my mom didn't love me or care about me, why should anybody else care or love me. I began to turn people away and I just wanted to be by myself. It's 2011 and the relationship with my mom has not changed. I

A Mother's Love and a Daughter's Growth
Many times love is thought of in terms of relationships with someone of the opposite sex. It often times includes emotional as well as physical attraction. Amy Tan's novel, The Bonesetter's Daughter, examines the love that takes another form: the love between a parent and child. In a heartfelt examination of the relationship between mother and daughter, Amy Tan brings to life the feeling of love a daughter often takes for granted in the relationship with her mother.
In order to express the development of the characters in her novel, Tan usestime in a most useful manner. She draws upon the present in her portrayal of Ruth Young, daughter of LuLing Young. She uses the past to create a...show more content... Misunderstandings begin to surface between the daughter born in America and the mother raised in a very different culture. At a young age, Ruth sees her mother's ideas, practices, and motivations, as ancient in nature and resistant to modern times. LuLing struggles with her daughter's independent qualities and stubbornness. The miscommunication between young daughter and mother are ever clear in the brief exchange of these words: "'Why I have daughter like you? Why I live? Why I don't die long time 'go? You want I die?' Ruth was shaking but shrugged as nonchalantly as she could. 'I really don't care'" (Tan 146).
In adulthood, Ruth understands her frustrations as a child were just that, childish. Her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis has shown Ruth how precious and important the family connection is:
"As the years go on, I see how much family means. It reminds us of what's important. That connection to the past. The same jokes about being Young yet getting old. The traditions. The fact that we can't get rid of each other no matter how much we try. We're stuck through the ages, with the bonds cemented by sticky rice and tapioca pudding. Thank you all for being who you are." (Tan 93)
As Ruth is faced with the uncertainty of her mother's future, she dives wholeheartedly into her mother's past. The pages her mother gave her so
A mother's love
Nothing comes close to having love that a mother haves for her children. Most women are great mothers to their children. Women that carry their children before they are born and then continue to take care them throughout their childhood and even into adulthood. Moms make sure that their children are safe and happy through their childhood. It is the unconditional love that a mother feels for her children that drives these feelings. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mom has towards her children. Most people don't understand this love unless they are mothers themselves.

This role is not always plain sailing. A mother can also be upset or hurt. Remember that a mother often takes the fallout for the toddler tantrums and the teenage angst. Despite this, mothers, generally, will love their children no matter what they do.
Mothers are meant to be the cheerleaders of their kids, sometimes in loud and visible ways, sometimes in sublet or unspoken ways in the background.

A Mother's Love My mom has had the greatest impact on my life. She has always taught me to always try my hardest and to treat everyone equally and with respect. My mom's heart and determination is what I hope to have one day. She always puts anyone before herself. She is the kindness, most generous woman I have ever met. I can only hope to become like my mom one day. My mom impact my life because of all the different experiences we have experienced together.

Later that cold day, we went to Walmart and bought toiletries, bottled water, and brand new clothing and shoes. The friendly cashier with pink hair said,...show more content...
Once they finished talking on the phone, my mom sat down and started bawling. My dad asked my mom, "What's wrong honey?" After that, my mom started telling us that my great–grandmother just recently passed away. I didn't really know my great–grandmother, but when my mom told me the horrible news, my heart broke into a thousand pieces because I knew how much my mom loved her grandmother. Later that week, we traveled to Great Bend for her funeral. It was a very depressing day and all you could see were people weeping, but you could tell they were trying to put a brave face on. My mom tried her hardest to keep her tears in, but she couldn't, it was just too hard for her. I hugged my mom and told her that everything was going to be alright and that I love her so much. My mom has her down moments, but she also has those exciting, fun moments. The week before summer vacation in sixth grade, my mom and I decided to go to Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. The road trip was super fun, but there was quite a lot of traffic that day. Once we arrived, we bought our tickets and went through security. The metal detector went off on my mom because she forgot to put her phone in the box. Elitch Gardens was very crowded that day. We couldn't get anywhere without bumping into all the sweaty people. The lines were super long and all these little kids were fussing about waiting in line. We decided to get on the tallest wooden roller coaster there,

A mother is someone who can take the place of all others but no one can take the place of her. There are many different definitions you could use to describe your mother. My mother, Pam Krull, fits every one of those. Today I decided to pick the three that I thought was most important to me. I admire and aspire to be like my mother because of how supportive, how selfless, and how loving she is. My mom has gone through a lot to get where she is today. I will begin by telling you a little bit about my mom's background. My mom grew up outside ofGeorge with her parents, Harris and Bev Kaster, and her three siblings, Erik, Brad, and Kristy.

Growing Lily
At age three I said "I love you mommy." At age seven I said, "Mom, stop kissing my cheek!" At age fifteen I say, "You're so annoying– I can't wait to move out!" At age eighteen, I'll be saying "I miss home." At age twenty–seven I'll be saying "I miss my mom." At age forty I'll be saying "I miss you so much; I wish you didn't have to go." My mom is the sun to my shine. My mother is a hard worker. She loves what she does for a living. She does arrangements for peoples' houses. I've seen her work from 7 a.m. to midnight at times. The hard work pays off but most of her earnings go to bills or groceries. When she has a new project, she goes shopping for flowers to make what mental image she has in her into reality. The...show more content... She has the power to make you smile when you're down, make you cry by telling a story, keep you under control when you're too rowdy and get angry when needed. Family is an important thing to my mother. She loves to spend as much time as she can with them. She believes in the Hawaiian saying, "Ohanna: Nobody gets left behind." This past summer we went on a cruise ship. The whole side of my mom's family had gone. I enjoyed my time there, especially when we arrived in Cozumel, MX. One of the most embarrassing things that could happen to me frightened my mom to death. Purging is said to make you lose weight. The banging on the restroom door startled me knowing I would be caught. From that point on she took extra care of my health. Looking after what I ate, when I should exercise etc. When I was fourteen, my parents and I made a deal that if I lost twenty pounds, I would be able to get my first tattoo. She supported me with it, thus, me losing the weight. Not everyone grows up with manners. I have a high tolerance for respect. Growing up going to church every Sunday due to my mom helped me adapt to maturity. Not that I'm highly bipolar, but I do lose my temper really drastically. I've been taught by my mom to forgive and forget. Through the worst of her times that people have put her through; she forgives. She tells me I have the blood of my dad seeing as how I will always hold a grudge towards someone no matter what. I know my mom wants the best for her kids,

Mothers are our life philosophers with selfless love. Mothers make us, kids, become especially thoughtful about the nature of life. Among all the lovely things in the nature, mothers are the most rare and precious, as we only have one mother in the whole world. Like Henry Ward Beecher, the 19th century American Congregationalist Clergyman, once said that, "The mothers' heart is the child's schoolroom." We are influenced by our mothers throughout our life; so am I. I might forget the words that my mother say to me, but I still remember the feeling that she gave me. It's just like I don't remember lyric, but I still remember the tune of the song. She is my greatest source of education and I have fallen in love with her since the first second I opened my eyes. My mother is a mother and her heart also happens to be my schoolroom.
A young girl who got married at the age of 17 to a guy that she had never known before. She is helping her parents running their restaurant business which is welly known in the 1990s. Later on, her parents passed away after her first kid born. She had faced many financial problems after her parents' funeral. Her two siblings are not capable of helping the family, but only asking her for money while she was struggling to pay her parents' debts. People changed, she thought at that time, "Why do her relatives suddenly want the money back that fast before the contract? Are they afraid that I can't pay off the debt?" She tried her best to pay those people
